road, dodging cars, we ended up in the ditch. >> reporter: but it's not just the drivers feeling the impact. over 2,800 flights were cancelled nationwide on sunday. the number continue to grow. this morning trouble along the busy i-95 core dir. heavy snow was the headline in four games on sunday. proceeding snow made it nearly impossible for fans to tell exactly where the ball was. the football field looked more like an ice rink which people slipping and sliding. in philadelphia, snow measured as high as six inches in the middle of the field t. lion ones fumbled six times before halftime and during a pregame warm-up, reggie bush injured himself on the slippery field. we still have travel delays and concerns. seeing that freezing rain stretching anywhere from new york to virginia, freezing fog out through dallas. we will have the full forecast in a bit.

balloon artists. that was little relief for some. >> have you showered in four days? >> no. >> reporter: the temperature was above zero for hours on sunday. >> that helped crews clearese from the runways. and the backlog here will be the big issue. the good news is airport officials here this morning tell us four oust seven runways at dfw airport. the problem is a lot of these flights are headed to the northeast where a lot of those flights will be canceled or delayed. all these airports urge people to continue checking with the airlines to check on their flights, so you can avoid living in the terminal like many did in dallas, ft. worth this weekend. >> talk about painful. ed, thank you so much. we will talk to you in a bit. we will be keeping an eye on the weather, of course, let's check back in which chris live in south africa this morning. hey, chris. >> reporter: hey, kate.

nelson mandela. you know on friday they had a ceremony for nelson mandela, a traditional african one where they closed his eyes. wherever he is, i hope his ears are opened, to hear this, this is what they say would be the greatest memorial for fell nnel mandela, living apart. that's what's going on right now as a buildup to tomorrow t. kind of sendoff and a memorial we haven't seen. 90,000 seats as i said in the peace, it's not going to be enough to hold the people there. it will be something to behold when all these people come together in celebration of the same man. back to you in new york. >> reporter: all right. thank you so much for that beautiful view. hopefully, his family can get a sense of na. they have lost a loved one and family member. let's give you the latest on the news, u.s. senator chug hagel is there. he is expected to talk about

everyone. pilot error may be the result of a report, they are relying on cockpit computers by the pilots. we are taking a look at this. allison, what more are you hearing from this report? >> the ntsb is having a report coming out on tuesday. it will be a cause of oceanic plane on july 6th, what they are expected to show is these pilots relied too much on these cockpit computers and were confused about the automatic thrust settings, which ultimately led to the crash. the ntsb is expected to reveal the pilots didn't understand how this boeing 737, automative features were designed to function. bus of that confusion, ntsb experts believe that is what led to the crash. >> it will leave people wondering is this one case of of

team of pilots, one crew that had an overreliance on computers? >> you say it's interesting, some experts have even called this something called automation addiction, which many safety experts believe is what be pilots really rely on. meaning they rely too much on those automated features in the cockpit. they don't necessarily rely on their flying skills, because when something mag functions or switches off the worry is that the done fused dr confused crui won't know what to do. that's what happened with the landing in san francisco. they say the air speed dropped quickly t. crew failed to react until it was too late. there was a lot of confusion. there is a lesson in this, say experts, they have to go back and make sure these pilots feel confident to step in within they know when something is malfunctioning. >> the only silver lining that

families involved can have if they can learn from this experience, if it means more training or regulations. >> recognizing there is too much reliance on these automated systems, that these pilots need to have their skills brushed up on. experts find out skills erode. >> let's talk about a different airline. a much bigger airline, allison, you are following all our business headlines and money time now. >> that's the merger of americn airlines and usairways is expected to become official today t. new fayne company will be called american airlines. it cleared hurdles, including the new airline to give up access at two major airports. the futures are higher this morning after the dow on friday had its best day in two months. it rocketed 98 points. gosh, this year, what a year it's been t. dow is up 22% t. nasdaq up 35% t. s&p up 27% a.

devoted to politics and capitol hill. i was caught flat footed on this, my best resources, capitol hill reporters back when the budget framework got set, this thing is make believe. we will repeat the whole show down in january. lo and behold, it is not make beleave. we don't have a deal yet t. two sides are close not to the big megadell we have been talking about for a couple of years, a kind of a microdeal that will, in fact, alleviate the sequester and avoid the show down and the possibility of another government shutdown in january. >> i guess you can count it as a success they won't partially shut down the government again. >> reporter: sure. >> the same players are if play. so they won't come to a grand bargain this time around. can they count a cease-fire now being described as a success? >> reporter: well, i think, remember back in high school grading on a curve, right?

so the person that got 80% might get an a. nobody expected a grand bargain, still a lot of us don't expect a grand bargain a. lot of us doesn't expect to get a mini bargain. that seems to be what we'll call progress. there is a bipartisan consensus, people don't like the sequester. in effect, spending priorities of both parties. that's one. the other is kind of to our surprise, there seems to be a rapport between the two budget chairman, patty murray from washington on the senate side and paul ryan and the vice presidential nominee t. two seem to be inzisnnc. they have serious policy issues. >> let's count it as baby steps. >> a great way to put it. >> so let's talk about presidential politics. i think it's never too early to

talk about the next race. >> reporter: not which somebody from politico. >> rand paul, you said he was on the sunday shows yesterday. he said he is seriously considering a run for president. does that surprise you at all? >> reporter: it doesn't really surprise me, because we've seen really since the 2012 presidential elections ended and rand paul, of course, being in the senate, that he has very serious ambitions to take over the when, the libertarian wing of the republican party his father represented. his father in two presidential campaigns did this in a novelty candidate, somebody who was entertaining because of his ec sen trek kind of here's the way i see it position, but not somebody who was a real force in the party or had an effect on the nominating process. rand paul would get his father's movement. i think he would be taken serious to affect the process. >> how is rand different from

his father? how is his approach different from his father's, i guess? >> i think he's more of an authentic politician who has the ability to sort of make realistic choices based on his own self interests, where his father really i think at least in, you know, as he got up to the kind of senior citizen level, he's like, i don't need any of that, i will say what i think and let the chips fall where they may. >> that can be very refreshing. not typically the best path towards achieving a nomination or being a power broker in the party. >> that's how it stacks up against his father if you will, let's talk about the other nominees in the latest cnn-orc poll if you look from september until now, we put it up on the skren, he is right in the mix of it which all the other big names we talked about. how do you think he stacks up? >> i think he stacks up pretty

seriously. of course, it's catnip for all of us political junkie, basically meaningless, what you are largely doing is measuring name recogniti and so forth. rand paul has a base of supporters that are animated. not just by his personality but his idea. at the end of the day ideas do matter in politics. >> he does come which a specific view point. you know from he is coming from. john, it's great to see you, thank you so mump. thanks, for battling the traffic and the snow to get in. >> it's good to be which you. >> i'll see you soon, see you later. >> bye-bye. >> all right. let's take a look at the headlines at 30 minutes after the hour, ice and snow slamming the east coast, grabbing at least a thousand flights already today over 2,600 flights on sunday. hundreds of passengers are still stranded at dallas-ft. worth airport.

man like yourself which angry and hatred that surely you deserve to feel? >> i think that he managed all of his personas have carefully the persona of the leader, if persona of the mandela leak every one of us who could sit down, argue which us, disagree which us, debate which us. i'm sure he would have identified whiidentify which people. owe 'people. this was his religion. >> we, you are absolutely right. even though he went through chechen prison, whenever people from different denominations came in, they obviously wanted to see him, so he would go and sit and listen very attentively.

that was yet another of mandela's personas. >> as a politician, let's end with this. one of the most remarkable things was when there was a changeover in power, ordinarily, you wipe out who was there. especially under conditions like apartheid. how did he sell the idea of keeping africanos in government, how did he make that okay with the african people? >> i think personally at a fundamental level, he recognized that africanos were south africans just like everyone of us. that's a lessen he learned in prison and emphasized in prison. he had a cordial relationship and we learned from him. the most important message who to trust, please dobi don't be consumed by hatred. it no cusses on the wrong things. that's a message he carried outside of prison.

amazing, he was able to carry huge numbers of people around with him. >> easy to say, so difficult to do. the success is what makes him the man so revered here and around the world. tomorrow is shaping up to be an epic memorial. i know you will be there. it is something i look forward to you being there. thank you so much for sharing these memories. mikaela, back to you in new york thanks, so much, chris. >> it's a new beginning. the celebration of his life hasn't stopped since. we will have more from chris in south africa. >> let's talk about the weather. many of you traveling, smond a big travel day in the winter close to the holidays, dallas in particular. they have been having it rough at dfw. >> first you had freezing rain, now we are left with clear air, moisture, look at the temperatures right at the freezing mark if not below. everything is freezing on the surface, flight delays, about

south africans are using this time not to say good-bye to the man. it's a rain check of what this country is, are we doing enough in south africa? there is a real intimacy and a sense of we don't want to betray his vision. things are going a little bit off, maybe this is the time to not forget he sacrificed so much. >> it seems like there is a balance of loss, reference and as you say responsibility. >> reporter: absolutely. >> reporter: robin kurnow, thank you so much. she spokes with mandela, understands the politics here so much. we will deep painting the picture of what is happening now. teeing up an epic memorial tomorrow. the world hasn't seen anything like it in quite some time. back to you in new york. >> so much to see, so much to celebrate. with ewill be watching it right alongside with you, thanks, guys. the nation's leading technology giants, they are taking aim want, microsoft, google, they are putting a stop to the snooping to better

with the nsa. they've had their own controversies regarding privacy. >> you said it. think about google andrea hoo, they're the runs that collect your information. they want to get it for ad dollars. then you got the proof that these companies do, google agreeing last month, settling a $17 million lawsuit. it placed cookies on computers using apple's safari web browser, this happened over a two-year period. google was able to circumvent privacy settings without users knowing or consenting. facebook is a huge offender that every time, did you know every time you vis eight sight that is liked on face boorks you don't have to click like, you don't have to be a facebook user, facebook prints out a report or has a report on you if you visit this site. i think those in glass houses

an inch. it doesn't take much at all to ground those planes. it is tapering off, heading offshore, we are seeing three to five inches of maybe lake effect snow out there. there's the tame of the next system expected to make it in through tomorrow. more travel woes, more freezing wintry mix. regardless, when you add in the visibility there, we are talking potential delays as we go into the next 48 hours. until a couple more systems make their way through. >> we'll take eight day at a time. >> the snow is so pretty. except when you are commuting in. >> i was so excited. now the rain is washing away. >> i felt something on top of the cars. >> it was gorgeous yesterday. >> looking out my window, nothing like it. >> thanks, indra. we will take a break. coming up next on "new day," questions at a texas college

a star student in san antonio, he made the dean's list, he even performed in front of and behind the camera for the school student run station. that's why those are in disbelief that a campus police officer found reason to shoot him. >> this story doesn't make sense to any of us and i think we're mostly just angry and want answers, he's not aggressive. he's not any of those things that would constitute him getting shot at. >> reporter: the shooting happened just a few blocks off campus. early friday morning, investigators claim he was allegedly speeding and driving erratically when a campus police officer pulled him over around 2:00 a.m. police say redus got out of his pickup and approached the officer. then think say a struggle ensued and the officer fired multiple shot

accident, saying the couple started arguing, when she tried to remove her husband's hand from her arm, he lost his balance. she initially didn't report the incident and later told them he had driven away with friend. she later admitted she was having second thoughts of the maernl and is pleading not guilty to murder and making explosive statements. prosecutors are saying they have evidence jordan may have blindfolded her husband before pushing him, graham's attorneys are claiming prosecutorial misconduct, claiming inappropriate touching during graham's polygraph testing. the fbi agent denies the claim. whatever the outcome of the trial, cody's friend have already made up their mind. >> he didn't deserve whatever ends she gave him. >> reporter: if convicted, graham faces life in prison. cnn, los angeles. >> thanks, so much. let's talk more about this. let's bring in legal analysts.

a lot to talk about with this case. >> jury selection begins today. what do you make of the very beginning of this trial? >> you know what, the prosecution will no doubt remind us momentarily to establish their case. remember, there were two people on top of that cliff, right? one is dead the people speaking for the decedant, right, they're going to make the argument this was deliberate, premeditated, a planned act. >> she pushed him off the cliff. >> that will be the argument. however, that i will argue that is pure speculation. the reality is she is going to say it was purely an accident and as a result of him grabbing at home and saying, oh, and pushing, he fell, it was an accident, therefore, kate, not murder. >> you think he jumped off the cliff? is that possible? >> certainly not possible. >> spoken like a true defense attorney. >> so her toernts say, yes, she

did make, she did change her story, which is not good for her as this whole thing began, but that it was an accident. she had no intngs of this happening. >> that's ridiculous. this is a case a prosecutor does, who does that? who behaves like that kind of case? they will show her behavior before in and afterwards, afterwards, we know he fell off the cliff perhaps but she didn't say it to anyone. she didn't tell anyone anything. she told the police, oh, he got into a car with some friends, i didn't see him again, then she leads a group of people to where she thinks he may be, his body happens to be at the bottom of the cliff. if i'm the prosecutor, i want a jury that has real life experience, perhaps are married, are divorced. i want to argue with them, who does this? who behafs like this. >> eight days after their

wedding. >> exactly. i think the defense will argue, listen, after she did that, she was under the belief no one would believe it was an accident, as a result of that, she panicked and out of anxiety an stress only to later say, let me come clean and call off this search and explain exactly what happened, which defense will say she did. >> the judge isn't helping out the prosecution. the judge decided the prosecution can't bring in previous statements, previous behavior she has had, they would like to bring up, basically statements she made, lying about abuse in previous relationships, and kind of how she's acted. how much of a problem is that for the prosecution? >> i don't think it's a problem. i will never say this case is a slam dunk. you don't need that if you are the prosecutor. the bottom line is eight days after your marriage, you have under surveillance photos of both of them walking into the park. he ends up dead at the bottom of a cliff. she tells no one. that's all i need.

i know there has been a lot to do with this blindfold evidence. >> yes. >> the federal judge might not let it in. >> they don't need it. they have to prove premeditation and intent. you don't need a blindfold. all you need is her behavior. >> what about this element. they will dissect how he fell, the question of did he fall face first? backwards? they say he fell face first, how can that be happening in the middle of an argument? >> the defense will say, she admitted she pushed and he was face first. however, it's certainly plausible so says the defense in an argument when you are grabbing. she pushes, he is moving. >> that could have represented the face falling. going back briefly to the evidence. >> she admitted. the thing is it was an argument. as a result of that, it was

accidental, that she didn't possess the requisite malice, ill will and spite to push him. >> what is this case going to turn on in. >> i really think adepend who does that, i think it will turn on a jury really bringing themselves to that place, bringing them to that common sense place, a new bride, within are you supposed to be in the honemoon place, i have been married two years, eight days into my marriage, i was thrilled. i think that jury will say, who does that in people don't behave this way. it will turn on her behavior, all of the lice, her behavior, not so much before. which i don't think it's important she lied before about previous relationships. it's her behavior after. you know. >> enan enstant. >> they can be in an argue and she can say, i don't leak you, why did i marry you? push. >> it's about plus aibility.

is it likely she was so, people arc you, people get into issues newlyweds or not, it doesn't make you a murderer. the defense will say, pure and simple, anything else, speculation. >> first and foremost, the jerry selection. >> to be determined. >> thank you. great to see you. mikaela. >> all right, kate, thanks, so much. next up on "new day," seaworld snubbed again, the bare naked ladies, now another band is saying no to performing at the theme park. more on the black fish ripple effect. chris, over to you. >> reporter: all right. thank you very much. it is shaping up that south america is going to be the focus of the world's attention, at least for tomorrow. you see what's happening behind us, we are waiting on word the president is bringing two former

presidents can him, former carter as well. .

>> welcome back a. potential water shed out of connecticut. two boys are arrested for aallegedly allowing a girl to

drive drunk. tell us what happened here? there are so many questions. >> there really are. mikaela, this story draws into focus the issue if you can be held responsible for allowing someone else to get behind the wheel drunk. two teens knew their friend was drunk and let her drive. they say their inaction cost their friend her life. they have been charged with a misdemeanor. she was driving alone in july when she crashed the suv she was driving into a tree and was killed. her blood alcohol according to police was .27, three times the legal adult limit. now three of the teenagers driving with her are being held accountable for allowing her to drive drunk. >> these two juveniles knew she was intoxicated, knew she shouldn't have been driving and allowed her to drive.

>> reporter: police say the two teens were the last to get out of the car, leaving her to get behind the wheel and drive herself off. she drove only half a mile before crashing. after a thorough investigation, police arrested the teens this month and charged them with reckless endanger. . there are so many things that can be done, worried about getting in trouble for sneaking out. is that really that important? >> reporter: the arrest september shock waves through the community still shaken up by the tragedy. on a facebook page, one friend recently wrote, today brought me and many others i'm sure right back to the week you left us, the case is once again raising questions about moral obligation versus legal responsibility. >> we expect adults to act with a certain degree of judgment and reasonableness, when somebody is 16-years-old, it's sort of hard to place the kind of criminal responsibility on them that we

would place on an adult who handed keys to a drunken driver. >> and legal experts say in the past, there have been cases where adults and bar tenders have been prosecuted for letting people drive drunk. it is extremely rare, after all, they are only 16 an 17-years-old, a part of this is likely to send a small miami about under age drinking. >> that's why they are doing it. it's bringing that moral obligation versus legal responsibility really into play here. >> when you talk about criminal responsibility, the age has to come into account. >> right. you have to think that as paul cowan said, they don't have the same judgment as an adult. they have been drinking. >> that impaired their ability to drive drunk is there it takes you with a teen and your parents say if you are with someone who is drinking, call us, you don't want to be responsible for it. you don't want to get in trouble for it or anybody to lose their

leaves. >> what a tragedy. all right, let's go over to indra now, checking in on the weather, dallas, what a rough weekend. >> i feel nervous saying that, these four people in dallas still dealing with delays, thanks to, yes, freezing fog now, look at the temperatures right there at that freezing mark. >> that is the concern, still through 10:00 central time, they will be having freezing fog. here in the northeast, we are finally joining the party here. we saw snow yesterday. we are getting wentry mix as well the threat of icing through virginia. we still have that concern for the ice out there, that wintry mix. it doesn't stop there. we have another one overnight in through tomorrow. tomorrow looks mainly like a snow system. we will be talking about new england seeing the snow, to the south, rain, again today we should see a quarter of an inch. about a tenth of an inch or so, keep in mind, you could have ice

on the ground with snow over it. definitely makes for dangerous driving conditions out there. speaking of dangerous. temperatures this morning, once you factor in the wind chill, we are talking places feeling like negative 30, through dakota. all of this struggling out there, when you add in the wind chill, it feels like negative 16 in denver. today's highs, very cool, spreading to the northeast. new york city will feel like just 45 degrees. within are you this cold, it takes about a week or so until temperatures climb slowly back up. >> it does not take long for them to drop so fast. >> probably because on the weekend, you can hunker down. everyone has to go back to school, back to regular lives. >> they can walk in it. >> coming up next on "new day," big game performers are bough out of their gigs at seaworld. we will tell you about the black fish backlash. say that twice.

feel comfortable proceeding with the gig at this time." sea world released a statement regarding the cancellations which says in part, "while we're disappointed a small group of misinformed individuals was able to deny fans what would have been great concerts at seaworld, we respect the bands' decisions." seaworld's signature killer whale performances came to a halt in 2010 after veteran trainer dawn branceau was killed. seaworld says the documentary ignores the park's conservation efforts and research. there are still a number of other musical groups that are planning to perform at seaworld. you can bet opponents are going to be watching them very, very carefully. ladies? >> all right, martin, thank you so much. we'll take a short break here on "new day." up next for millions up and down the east coast today, ice, rain

you're looking at a live picture at andrews air force base in maryland, that's where the president's plane is. president obama is expected to lift off any moment now to come here to johannesburg for what could be an epic memorial for nelson mandela, bringing two former presidents with him, presidents clinton and bush and we hear that president carter is coming as well and these are just some of about 100 world leaders that will be here as literally south africa becomes the focus of the universe. we'll tell you what's going on right here, what's leading up 'til tomorrow but first let's get back to kate for the big news this morning. kate? >> thanks, chris, much more ahead. back here at home the east coast getting hammered with snow, rain and ice, the deep freeze causing major headaches for travelers, thousands of flights have been canceled, snow also making a mess of roads in southeast wisconsin, at least 60 crashes reported in a single stretch of the interstate there, we're covering every angle of the story this morning. ed lavandera is in hard hit

dallas but first indra petersons is tracking the storm. >> hard to believe we're still talking about the threat of wintry mix, freezing reign and fog through dallas but over the weekend the entire country was affected by two storm systems. snow, freezing rain and dangerous ice. >> oh! >> reporter: in texas, residents captured video of ice cascading from rooftops. another winter storm is wreaking havoc across much of the nation. the frigid storm put dallas in a deep freeze over the weekend and made a mess from the ohio valley to the northeast. road crews were out in full force plowing and salting streets. >> we're not going to stop until the roads are clear.

>> reporter: it's been treacherous conditions on the roadways. >> it's been rough. every year people forget how to drive in the snow. >> reporter: the dangerous mix of snow and ice caused this 50-car pile-up on the pennsylvania turnpike, killing at least one person. roads and highways in the milwaukee area also had their share of problems, three separate wrecks involving over 100 cars, buses in ditches, semitrailers jack-knifed, causing a number of injuries. >> it was bad. could you barely see up the road, just swerving through cars, dodging cars and we ended up in a ditch. >> reporter: heavy snow was the headline in at least four nfl games sunday, blowing snow made it nearly impossible for fans to tell exactly where the ball was. the football field looked more like ice rinks with players slipping and sliding. at the eagles/lions game snow measured as high as six inches in the middle of the field. the lions fumbled six times before halftime. >> we're still dealing with that second system here in the northeast today and behind it on the tail end of the system comes

another wave that could bring more rain and snow in through tomorrow. we'll give you the full forecast in a few minutes. >> thanks so much for that. dallas is in much of a standstill. much of north texas reeling since thursday's ice storm. some have been stranded at the airport for days. ed lavandera is live from dwf. ed? >> reporter: good morning, kate. for most of the weekend, five out of the seven runways here at dfw airport had been iced over. things are starting to look better but it has been a long weekend for thousands of people trapped here at the airport. >> this is day four, dallas-ft. worth international airport. times are getting desperate. >> reporter: growing frustrations for thousands of passengers after being stranded at the dallas-ft. worth international airport since friday. james archibald of canada is one of them. >> i just don't understand why

they can't get the ice off the runway. i'm from canada. we've got four, five feet of snow on the runway, boom, plows go by. i know it's for our own safety but it's getting a bit silly. >> reporter: mr. archibald is posting video updates on youtube chronicling his adventure. he's amusing himself interviewing other travelers at the gates. >> i'm going home. i don't like this place. >> reporter: this isn't your home? >> it is right now. they say home is where you lay your head down. >> reporter: on friday, nearly 700 flights or about 90% of the total were canceled, about 400 more on sunday. these newly w llnewlyweds were honeymoon and trying to get to cancun, mexico when the storm grounded them. the couple from tokyo slept in chairs like so many others. some were lucky enough to get cots. the consolations continued through the weekend while airport workers provided some food and drinks to travelers.

they also brought in jugglers, illustrators and balloon artists but that was little relief for some. >> have you showered in four days? >> no. >> reporter: the temperature was above freezing at the airport for about five hours on sunday, that helped crews clear ice from the runways. and dfw airport officials say about 350 flights have been canceled for today, monday, that's an improvement from friday, when 750 flights were canceled, but the other good news is, kate, they have four runways now fully functional here at the airport at dfw, the airport says they can run a full schedule off of that. the problem is a lot of the flights are headed to the east coast where there are other delays. check in with your airline as you travel today. >> four days in the airport, those poor folks. hopefully they'll get out today. thank you so much. we'll keep an eye on the winter storm across the country. now right back to chris in south africa. chris? all right, kate, the situation here is speaking for

itself, chanting and song and dance breaks out, waves of emotion and new people come here in front of the home of nelson mandela in johannesburg, south africa, to celebrate the leader, who is, of course, now gone. is a combination of loss, reverence, and responsibility and people have been talking, what would be the right memorial for nelson mandela. the rainbow nation is in effect, all different colors and creeds and celebration together and for nelson mandela, that's what it would be all about. tuesday we'll see the largest gathering of world leaders in africa's history, the massive soccer stadium here was big enough for the world cup, but the 90,000 seats will hold just a fraction of the mourners, coming to celebrate the man who represented the promise of south africa. leaders from at least a dozen countries will be here, united states president obama, as well

as two former presidents, presidents clinton and bush as well as their wives will be in attendance with many other american dignitaries. they will be joined by the leaders of at least a dozen other countries, and more are continuing to join. >> madiba, this guy was the greatest, we'll never see someone like him again. >> reporter: on sunday, thousands packed places of worship in pretoria and soweto, different creeds and colors honoring a special man. >> today was a special mass for madiba. he said peace and we must hold that peace so that where is he, he'll be very pleased. >> reporter: tears and cheers capturing the loss and love for tata or father, as south africans called mandela. the makeshift memorials outside mandela's johannesburg home continue to grow but the greatest memorial may be the faces, black and white together.

parents bring children who will live a life madiba helped make possible. >> they were born free, they were born in the free south africa so they'll experience all the fruits of what he worked so hard for. >> reporter: in there is also loss. one man has mandela's image on his car and says he hasn't been able to sleep or eat since he heard the news. >> how can i live without madiba? i'm so sad. >> reporter: the long good-bye will continue all week, adding to the legend and the legacy of nelson mandela. the celebration here is a reflection of the complexity of what happens in south africa. you have members of different tribes, there are 11 different state languages recognized here. you are seeing waves of different parts of the community coming and it's spread into a spirit of inclusion as word of the loss of nelson mandela has gotten out. you have across the globe more and more leaders wanting to come, equal to or surpassing

what happened when john paul ii the pope died and they had that memorial, our own in the united states, president obama is bringing with him two former presidents clinton and fwusbush. we also heart former president jimmy carpeter will come. there's also a pushback, an undercurrent. newt gingrich wrote something that was thoughtful in praise of nelson mandela and got a lot of heat from the conservative right. why? we'll discuss it with him. back to you in new york. michaela? >> even great people are criticized by others. chris, looking forward to that conversation very much coming up on "new day." right now we want to give you a look at the headlines at this hour. u.s. defense secretary chuck haguele is in pakistan to discuss drone strikes and security threats. over the weekend hagel was in afghanistan where he focused on a security agreement that would keep some u.s. and coalition troops in the country after next year. afghan president hamid karzai said he won't sign it until after that nation's elections in april. protesters in the ukraine angry that their president is

forging closer ties to russia and not with european union, toppled a statue of lenin sunday and took turns pounding it with hammers. the biggest march in kiev since the president turned down the trade deal with the eu. protesters say they're giving him 48 hours to disband his government. this morning, eight major tech companies are urging the obama administration to set limits on government surveillance. in a letter signed by apple, google, microsoft and others, the companies say the government needs to better balance security deeds and privacy concerns. they want the u.s. to adopt reforms including clear limits on spying. calls for cameras on trains nationwide to be pointed at engineers and the tracks, a week after the metro north train derailment that killed four people in new york. crews installed new protections at the curve where the train left the tracks. the new system will warn engineers of approaching speed reductions and will automatically apply the

emergency brake if the speed is not lowered. carrie underwood sounding off on critics. the country star took to twitter calling out people who slammed her live television performance of "the sound of music." the actress received some backlash online for her portr portrayal of maria von trapp of what they cited her acting experience. she tweeted "plain and simple: mean people need jesus. they will be in my players tonight" and a scripture, too. >> great reaction. have you ever tried to sing "the sound of music"? >> i try to do it all the time and alone, the only sound is in my apartment. >> i only sing in the shower when no one's around. >> don't we sound so much better? >> that's why. i think i'm whitney houston when i'm in the shower. if you're trying to travel, i'm betting a lot of folks are upset they were stuck in airports when the big football sunday was happening, missing

out on the action. >> hopefully they had tvs. they gave out free tickets in dallas and only 1,000 people showed up at the game, it was so cold, no one wanted to be there. that's how you know it's freezing there. the second system into the northeast and take a look we have the wintry mix out there, more moving in towards new england. we had a bigger threat out towards virginia. that is switching over to rain as a little bit of that warmer air moves through but regardless, this was the threat today, about a quarter inch toward roanoke. we have to see what the information is that gets put out there. about 0.1 inch in new england. once you get some snow out of this, we have some snow into the northeast, you still have the concern there, you could have ice on the roads, you could have snow covering that and you may not see it. you want to take that additional time. here comes the second system, the tail end of the first system, another low spins off of that and moves up the cold front. as we go through tomorrow in the northeast, maybe in the overnight hours throughout the day and towards late afternoon we'll still be talking about snow and even more than we saw

yesterday about a good one to three inches of snow will be out there, farther down to the south we're still diagnose going to be talking about rain. does this mean delays? it does. because we could see low visibility. nothing as bad as what we have been seeing. we still have that backup out there so you add visibility on top of it, concerns neverending. >> people need you today and know what to do to avoid the mess. the answer is not much. >> nice to be needed but -- coming up next on "new day," not everyone is praising nelson mandela in the wake of his death. coming up, cnn "crossfire's" "' newt gingrich will be responding to critics for his admiration for mandela. talk about a rude awakening, you get on a flight, have a nap, you get up and you're alone inside a dark plane. the man that happened to, we'll talk to him exclusively coming up on "new day."

welcome back to "new day." you're looking at footage of president obama and first lady michelle obama just having gotten on board air force one. they're going to take off and fly here to south africa, johannesburg for what is promising to be an epic memorial

tomorrow, it will be held at the 90,000 people. the world is complexity, you talk about south africa, everything is complex, the nature of the burgeoning mixing of white and black and all the different regional languages that have to be here and the celebration is complicated. there's a sense of loss but also this joy of what mandela meant. you hear the music. you see the procession, different tribes, different religions all coming here and of course black and white together. the u.s. has president obama and also three former presidents coming as this echo around the world of the word of mandela's passing is generating this energy of inclusion, yet again complexity and that brings us to newt gingrich. he's joining us this morning and we're happy to have him. newt wrote a thoughtful piece about the passing of nelson mandela. newt had been one of the people early on pushing to end apartheid and help mandela's

cause. he got pushback, criticism for that piece, now amid all of this going on. newt i hope you can hear me pipe' in the middle of a celebration but please, tell us the context, what did you make of the pushback and criticism you got for what seemed like a very thoughtful piece about nelson mandela? >> well, i think, having analyzed it over the weekend, there were two waves of rejection of the idea of honoring mandela. one wave was people who confused mandela's role with the african national congress during the period when he was in jail. he spent 27 years in jail which was the peak of the african national congress's violence, much of which was violence against other blacks, not just violence against -- mostly not violence against the government. the other was i think that some elements of the left, particularly on one news channel went overboard in trying to use this in a chance to attack ronald reagan.

people who were reagan loyalists know reagan called for mandela to be released. reagan appointed the first black ambassador to south africa whose job was to pressure the afrikaans government. reagan -- this was another excuse from the left to smear reagan. lot of anger on the right this opportunity used inappropriately. mandela is a very complex person with a very long life, and i think he's the most important figure in sub-saharan africa in the last 100 years. he offers a hope for reconciliation and a hope for moving forward with free enterprise and private property, and an opportunity to create jobs and to live together that is greater than any other african leader of the last 100 years and i think that part of his memory has to be preserved and built upon. >> so newt, if you can, inform the speculation on both of these fronts and tell people what you

think the proper perception be, first nelson mandela someone advocating forceful overthrow early on, a big part of what got him in prison and on the ordinary side the idea that when he was in prison that the united states wasn't actively supporting his release to some satisfaction, and that during the iraq war, he was an outspoken critic of using force. we hear he was just go b to get on a plane to discuss with saddam hussein before the bombing started. what do you see as the right way to view these two different perspectives? >> first of all if you look at his entire life for the overwhelming early part of his life he was opposed to violence, all of his life he was opposed to racism. he consistently favored bringing south africans of all backgrounds together and deeply opposed the more racial wing of the independence movement. the other thing you have to remember about him is he was deeply committed to a

non-violent approach until you had the dictatorship under the afrikaans party to make it impossible to have something purely nonviolent. you look at the sharpeville massacre, 60 people killed by the police you see the context in which he was moving with s sadness but determination towards a sabotage campaign. even when when he was out of jail his focus was on sabotage acts that minute milesed loss of life. he was a man who really didn't want to go down that road but who found himself in a position where he had no choice. the american government's position, frankly, was consistently anti-apartheid but also in a context so it's easy for us to forget, you had zimbabwe collapsing under a terrible dictatorship, you had mozambique and angola in an communist effort to take them over, we were in the middle of the cold war and frankly the priorities of the united states government were to defeat the soviet union and were cautious about doing things that

distracted them from that. 1985, weber, bob walker, myself among them led an effort that convinced reagan to become more proactive. if you look at what he said and did during that period, think about the idea of appointing a black ambassador to a country that is racially legally totally segregated and the signal that sent to every young black in south africa that the united states was doing what it could to be on their side. i think it was a significant step. >> newt, what do you think about the recent understanding that it wasn't until 2008 that nelson mandela was on the list of known terrorists for the united states? >> look, i have been a consistent critic of the state department as an incompetent bureaucracy and the notion that they hadn't noticed sometime between 1990 and 2008 that nelson mandela had been released from prison was considered an international hero, had become president of his country and

frankly when i was speaker, he visited the united states to receive the gold medal, the notion they hadn't noticed this tells you about your state department and why it needs a very deep overhaul. >> i'll tell you one thing, newt, that's pretty clear being here, as you learn the history of what nelson mandela was able to achieve when he got out of prison, in just a few short years that he got the people here to accept, that he got the africans here to accept the apartheid members of government and the new government, that that spirit of reconciliation was possible here. it certainly informs of what we should be capable of back inspect u.s., don't you think? >> it does. when caliste and i visited capetown a few years ago we were privileged to go to mass in a catholic church, they had about 800 people there with a priest from notre dame who had been serving that church the last 20 years and you saw a sense of being able to be together, of

being south african, that everybody there was south african, whether they came from the black tribes -- they're all africans. the dutch who were there very early, some over 400 years ago, so all of them are african, whether of asian descent, european descent or blacks in the north and the fact is that mandela's spirit, think about this, after 27 years in jail, 19 of them in a cell that was 8'x 7', a guy invites his guard to come and sit in the front row of the inauguration and says to the entire country, if i can forgive the guard who kept me in jail for 27 years, you can forgive people. we have to move forward and work together and i think the south african economy and the opportunity south africa has to be the leading country in africa grows out of the spirit of reconciliation. i think there's a lot americans could learn about moving ahead together, getting over the fights of the past, and finding a way to reconcile with each other and frankly, without being

partisan, i hope that the president brings some of that spirit back with him. maybe he and the congress can sit down more in the spirit of mandela and actually listen to each other for a while and that would be healthier for the entire country. >> to be sure, no one party has the market cornered when it comes to not doing what it needs to do to work with the other side. newt, thank you for your perspective, appreciate it. tomorrow promises to be an epic memorial here. it will be a real privilege to bear witness. kate, back to you in the city. >> all right, chris. we'll get back to south africa in a minute. first we'll take a break. coming up next, michael morton, a man who spent two decades behind bars for a crime he did not commit but is he not the only one. it also happened to derek deacon. why is he having such a hard time celebrating his newfound freedom? and locked inside a plane. you'll meet a passenger who dozed off during a flight, woke

advisory in through dallas. it wasn't bad enough they had two storms making their way through, flights delayed or canceled. 700 flights canceled out of dallas-ft. worth thanks to that. here in the northeast we're dealing with the second system as it makes its way out. icing around virginia and still looking at the wintry mix through new england, farther south we're starting to see that sleet starting to switch over to of course some rain, we'll get warmer air into the region. there's the second low and the tail end of the cold front making its way up so overnight tonight in through tomorrow especially in through tomorrow afternoon we're going to start seeing more snow, more than we saw from the first system especially into the northeast, about one to three inches of snow still possible and also some rain on the tail end. not a big rain maker but either way low clouds, poor visibility and here we go with the dangerous temperatures we talked about this arctic air one of the other problems throughout the weekend, feels like negative 30 degrees, that's the windchill advisory out there, dakotas, through minnesota and look at the current temperatures,

negative 4 in denver, negative 30 in through bismarck. back to you guys. >> bismarck is not the place to be right now. we're sending you warm thoughts, bismarck. imagine this, waking up after a quick flight, the only person left on a dark, cold plane, you can't get out. it actually happened to tom wagner. he was flying from louisiana to california with a layover in houston. napped on the first leg and when he woke up, he was in a dark plane in houston and it took him over a half hour to get off that plane, to get out. tom wagner is joining us now to tell us more about his incredible story. mr. wagner you're kind of a sight for sore eyes my friend. >> why is that? >> well, i'm just imagining the whole ordeal that you went through, a half an hour locked in this cold, dark plane. when i first wake up it takes me a minute to figure out where i am. did it occur to you that something was terribly wrong? >> yes. well, i woke up and i happened to look up and the lights were

out. i was like, well, what's going on here? and then i was like, i looked down the isles and nobody was there. i got up, i walk around, i had to go to the bathroom, so i worked my way to the back and found it and i call my girlfriend, debbie, i said, "listen you got to call the airlines, i'm locked in the plane." >> she didn't believe you at first, did she? >> no, she's telling me stop, because i play games with her once in a while joking around. she said, "tommy --" i said "debbie i'm locked in the plane you got to call the airline." she started laughing. i said "i'm serious" and she's still laughing and she finally hung up and i guess she called the airlines and then i called my sister, because i figured i ain't going to make my next flight. >> you definitely didn't make that next flight. >> no. >> tom, you go to the explain this to me, are you the deepest sleeper that ever lived? >> no, i'm roll not, yeally not.

i get a loss of questions, didn't you feel when you landed? i was like well i work, i'm a captain on a shell oil, i work for the oil field industry and sleeping like bouncing around is kind of the norm. >> i guess so. par for the course for you. so it takes a half an hour for you to finally get out. >> well, yes. >> and what do you say to the gate agents? >> well, they were like what are you doing on this plane? i said, i was a passenger. i woke up and i was locked in a plane. the workers came out first, who found me. i was standing, going to open the door. i walked up to the cockpit and patted my hand on the handle and i said no i better not do that. couple minutes later the other side door started, you know, opened up, and the workers, the one worker come in, he said who are you? what are you doing on this

plane? i said dude i was a passenger on the plane, i fell asleep, i woke up, and then he said, where's your badge? i said i don't work here. i says i was a passenger on this airplane, and he started like, no, no, no. >> then what i think i understand, too, is that they did the sweep, the airline says they walked through to make sure nobody was left on the plane, they somehow missed you and f l fella, you look like you're a fairly substantial man. i don't know how they would have missed you. >> yes, i don't either. it's funny, the best i can put it. you know, like i talk to people, they're like i'd have freaked out. >> you stayed calm, though, didn't you? >> yes, well, i was like kind of tried to do the best to go with what i got. nobody would believe me that i was talking to. >> so tom, express jet gave us a statement, express jet is investigating to determine how this occurred. we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this caused for the passenger.

they paid for a hotel room, they gave you a travel voucher. is that enough? will you be traveling with them ever again? >> i'm traveling back on my return flight to louisiana. i didn't cancel my flight. >> and now you're at your destination, and did your sister forgive you for being late? >> yes. yes, she did. >> that's all that matters. >> yes, it was all worked out. >> it all worked out, you have a good attitude about it. hopefully that's not going to happen any time soon to anyone else. >> you're going to stay awake on your next flight, i tell you that much. >> i will do that. >> tom wagner from irvine, california, talking to us this morning and hopefully he'll have a safe and easy flight home to louisiana, thanks for your time today. >> thank you. >> you never want stories, it's better when you have a no story travel experience and he's got one to tell. >> that's a doozy. coming up next on "new day," we followed the story of michael morton. you remember this, a man who spent time behind bars for a crime that he did not commit.

welcome back to "new day." last night cnn films aired "an unreal dream: the story of michael morton." after spending more than 20 years behind bars for a crime he did not commit. he was exonerated through dna

evidence. now another story of a man based on wrong witness testimony. pamela brown, another incredible tale. >> he's one of 2,000 people exonerated since 1989, his name is derrick deacon. he spent nearly 25 years behind bars. last month it took a jury less than ten minutes to overturn that. today he's free but in a strange twist, prosecutors are standing by the case even as their tactics are coming under fire. derrick deacon still has a hard time enjoying his newfound freedom, after spending nearly 25 years behind bars for a crime he didn't commit. did you know the person that was killed? >> no, no. >> reporter: were you there when the crime happened? >> no. no time. >> reporter: did you have any involvement whatsoever? >> no. >> reporter: in 19 the, deacon was convicted for shooting 60-year-old anthony twoin death at this apartment building during an alleged robbery. prosecutors insist a handyman

witnessed the men arguing and saw deacon with a gun but no forensic evidence, no eyewitness to the shooting. >> being the prosecutor in a way blame of weakness my first weakness, witness, a girl. >> reporter: colleen campbell who spoke to cnn only if we concealed her identity. she faced off with the killer on this landing. during the investigation police asked her if the man she encountered was deacon, known by his nickname, fire. >> they bring the picture of fire and them have me say if it is this man, i say, i tell them no. it was a young boy and he's 19, 20. >> reporter: her description in this 1989 police report of the man she came face to face with didn't match deacon at all. he was older and taller with a full head of hair and a beard. the defense counted on her testimony. >> the defense attorney at the original trial opened with the fact that miss campbell was

going to be testifying and an exonerating witness. week prior the prosecution had got on it her. >> reporter: campbell passed this lie detector test about her account but she says prosecutors pushed her to change her story and give vague testimony. she says they threatened to have her children taken away if she didn't cooperate, claims prosecutors deny. >> when i go to court, must give them doubt. him say give them doubt. >> reporter: deacon was found guilty and sentenced 25 years to life. >> with the suffering, nothing something anyone should do. >> reporter: in 2001 an fbi informant involved said fire had gotten arrested for a murder he didn't commit, he blamed someone named pablo for wynn's murder. this led to a retrial in 2009. colleen campbell testified again, this time telling jurors the man she saw definitively was not deacon, leaving only the handyman's testimony on its own.

prosecution was basically relying on one chief witness. >> yes. >> reporter: how credible was his testimony? >> still somewhat unclear if he actually saw, if he was saying that he saw this or if he was saying that he heard it, if he was passing by or had just seen it, so you know, it was a little bit spotty i would say. >> reporter: just last month it took the new jury less than ten minutes to aquite deacon of the murder, finally giving him his freedom. and the original prosecutor, thomas merrill, is now counsel to the nyc health department. he told us by e-mail he respects the jury's acquittal but still believes a handyman saw enough to prove deacon's guilt. he acknowledges campbell described a younger man but said her accounts were inconsistent. the brooklyn d.a. who prosecuted the second trial refused to say anything about the case including whether they would pursue pablo the man identified as the real killer >> that is still lingering out

there. >> sure is, yes. >> life ruined, a young boy dead and a man with no closure. no one wins in that one at all. thank you for bringing that story. coming up next on "new day," prince harry's charity race to the south pole scrubbed. that doesn't mean he's stopping. we'll explain. first let's get back to chris in south africa. ♪ all right, a woman came to me and said the heavens are getting ready to cry for the death of nelson mandela. the rains may come but they will not dampen the spirit you see here. when we come back we have a special edition of "the good stuff" for you. stick with innovation.

facing domestic violence charges. let's talk about prince harry and his south pole expedition. feel like we've been tracking this for a little while. it's the most fun getting healthy. >> imagine that, guys. >> see upwave dote com, others found inspiring lives. upwave.com encouraged by air optics. >> if you're sleeping in your contact lenses ask about the air optix contact lenses they're approved for 30 nights of continuous wear. ask your doctor and visit airoptix.com safety information and a free one-month trial. >> we were hoping our expedition to the couch is not as harrowing as prince harry's. the race has been called off. the gruelling expedition was meant to raise money for wounded service men and women, some of whom are participating in it. even though the race is off the mission has just begun. cnn's erin mclaughlin has more

in london. what do you know, erin? >> reporter: this really was a safety decision, many of the participants were amputees from conflict zones, they're facing extreme conditions. harry is an active service member, he's also a patron of the sponsoring charity, walking with the wounded and while the racing portion has been called off, prince harry and other participants are determined to see this through. prince harry's race to the south pole was never going to be easy. the print of the trek is to show the world what injured veterans can achieve, crossing 208 miles of dangerous terrain at temperatures of minus 31 degrees fahrenheit, all the while pulling sleds weighing more than 165 pounds, is a dangerous proposition. add to that the stress of a three-way international race. the gruelling trek has already seen delays due to severe weather and now for safety reasons, organizers have called

off the racing element of the expedition. >> people are going to get very, very tired and with our doctor here who i am in constant contact with, we just feel we're beginning to push people a little too hard so i've suspended the race. everything still keeps trekking on. we're going to seize the pole. >> reporter: the trek includes three teams of four wounded veterans from the uk, the u.s., canada and australia. many of the participants lost limbs in iraq and afghanistan. >> i'm given the opportunity i can help these guys out, whether it's creating more awareness for them or whatever, then you know, so what minus 50, so what, 90-mile-an-hour winds. occasionally you got to put yourself through that for a good cause. >> reporter: in 2011 harry's attempt to the north pole was called off because of the royal wedding. he broke a toe for this trip but never considered pulling out proof of how important completing this expedition of

the fourth in line to the throne. >> he'd be disappointed if they have to stop the expedition completely in the next couple weeks. >> reporter: prince harry suggested his brother wished he was along for the adventure. >> i think he's jealous i managed to get away from the screaming child. >> reporter: i spoke to the spokesperson for walking with the wounded this morning and she told me they have about another 50 miles to go, they're expected to reach the south pole on friday so if all goes according to plan, prince harry should be home in time for the holidays. michaela and kate? >> chris is with us as well. thanks so much, erin. amazing to think about what they're doing. >> i imagine after completing that they'll feel there's nothing you can't achieve. >> we argue there's nothing you can't achieve already with what you've done for your country. we'll take a break and after that we'll head back to south africa. ♪ through 12 ice storms brewing ♪ ♪ 10 straight days raining

. welcome back to "new day," everyone. let's get back to south africa for a very nesspecial edition o "the good stuff." chris? >> seems appropriate. >> hey, kate, we're surrounded by these demonstrations of unusual humanity that we like to capture in "the good stuff" and when you're talking about south africa you talk about complexity. nelson mandela was a complex figure politically and personally. the situation down here is very complex and still continuing to develop, the reaction to nelson mandela's passing is complex. while there's an echo the world over of respecting the message of reconciliation and strength in the face of adversity, there's also pushback as we see

and yet and yet and yet when you think about nelson mandela and his passing most commonly you think about the memorial, tomorrow's setting up to be an epic display of world power and people coming together. he didn't want statues, he didn't want his words on a wall. he said that his memorial would be the people, and what we saw today, i want to show you one photo that grabbed it, for all the tribal ware and the different people and tribal sects coming together look at the picture of these children on the shoulders of their parents, okay? as simple a photo as a white kid on a white man's shoulders and a black kid on a black parent's shoulders, side by side, it may seem so casual and ordinary, and that's the beauty of it when you set it against the backdrop of what the apartheid culture was. that's why i wanted to single it out as the good stuff and the realization of the dream of nelson mandela on this day and hopefully many going forward. it seems like a simple image, kate, michaela, with what has

been lift through down here the idea they are mourning together, that the sense of loss and the sense of responsibility is black and white as one is really something that's remarkable and certainly the good stuff. >> we've been commenting throughout the show, chris, you've been bringing the sights and the sounds and the celebration going on behind you, on the ground, the big celebration, the big event, the big memorial is tomorrow. what has it been like so far being able to witness this incredible moment in history? >> you know it's unusual. one of the privileges of this job that we do is being able to bear witness to history, and it's nice when history is not in its darkest moments, and to realize how profound apartheid was, just how bad it was, for them to come to this point where they celebrate this man together is a beautiful thing and it's great to be here and i look forward to tomorrow, 100 world leaders represented there, it's going to be amazing. >> you'll be our eyes and ears on the ground.

we can't wait to share that with you tomorrow, chris cuomo. soak it all in for us, brother, soak it all in. >> see you soon, chris. >> will do. >> we'll talk to you tomorrow. that's it for us. now to john berman for carol costello in "the newsroom." >> happy monday, everyone. frustrating monday morning up and down the east coast. "newsroom" starts right now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com good morning everyone. it's john berman. carol costello is off today. the calendar says we're 12 days away from the official start of winter. try telling that to folks in the northeast and across much of the country. look at this picture from st. louis, a storm system that has dumped plenty of ice and snow from texas to pennsylvania, has killed at least seven people, it's expected to keep causing problems today. this is already
